Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for recycling plastic materials which contain at least two polymers, copolymers or blends thereof based on polystyrene.
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
- PS polystyrene
- SB styrene-butadiene
- a polymer solution in which polymers which are incompatible with each other or are non-miscible are dispersed, is produced thus from typical plastic material-containing old electrical appliance (EAG) fractions. After separation of the solvent, a mixture comprising incompatible plastic materials which do not achieve satisfactory properties are obtained.
- EAG old electrical appliance
- the object is achieved by a method for recycling plastic materials which contain at least two polymers, copolymers or blends thereof based on polystyrene in which the plastic material is mixed with at least one solvent for the polymers, copolymers or blends thereof at least one precipitant which is miscible with the at least one solvent is added to the solution of the polymers, copolymers or blends thereof for precipitation of the at least one polymer, copolymer or blend thereof in gelatinous form, the at least one precipitant and/or the quantity thereof being chosen such that the mixture of solvent and precipitant has a value for the hydrogen bonding strength ⁇ H of the Hansen solubility parameter of 10 to 15 ⁇ square root over (MPa) ⁇ and the at least one gelatinous precipitation product is separated from the further components of the plastic material.
- the invention also relates to the embodiments claimed and disclosed herein and also the use of the method for recycling plastic materials with a proportion of polystyrene, copolymers and/or blends thereof.
- a method for recycling plastic materials which contain at least two polymers, copolymers or blends thereof based on polystyrene is provided. The method is thereby based on the following method steps:
- plastic materials within the scope of the present application both plastic materials or mixtures thereof but also quite generally composite materials with other materials.
- the method according to the invention thereby confers the advantage that the precipitation can be effected surprisingly in economical and robust agitation tanks at low temperatures, preferably below 100° C., as a result of which no thermal damage occurs to the polymers.
- the polymer phases are thereby separated on the basis of their different material properties to form highly pure products which have very good rheological and mechanical properties so that they can be used respectively as a substitute for virgin material.
- a further essential advantage resides in the fact that the quantity of solvent used can be reduced so far that the operation can take place with polymer gel and the solvent residue can be withdrawn mechanically in an economical manner. The separation of the remaining solvent is then effected in parallel and directly subsequent to the phase separation.
- This method can be transferred to a large industrial scale without high investment costs—as are required for extruders, kneaders—and avoids large and expensive volumes of solvent. Hence the operating costs can be kept low because of the small circulating quantities of solvent which are to be processed by distillation, which leads to a low thermal energy requirement.
- At least two precipitation products occur in gelatinous form. Because of the adhesion properties of the similar precipitation products, the result is then demixing of the various polymers, as a result of which the latter can be separated in a simple manner.
- the adhesion forces outweigh the dispersion energy supplied by the thorough mixing so that the at least one gelatinous precipitation product is demixed completely from the further components of the plastic material.
- the mixture of solvent and precipitant has a polarity, expressed by a value for the hydrogen bonding strength ⁇ H of the Hansen solubility parameter of 11 to 13 ⁇ square root over (MPa) ⁇ .
- solvent fundamentally all solvents which are suitable for polymers, copolymers or blends based on polystyrene. Examples of these are mentioned in Saechtling, Plastic Material Handbook, 28th Edition (2003), page 691 and also DE 102 07 333 A1 and EP 739 930 A1, the relevant content of which is the subject of the present invention.
- solvents selected from the group comprising ketones, ether, cycloalkanes, esters, in particular acetone, methylethylketone, tetrahydrofuran, dialkylester of dicarboxylic acids and fatty acid alkylester, e.g. fatty acid methylester (FA-ME) are used.
- a compound is used as precipitant selected from the group comprising water, alcohols, in particular methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol and butanol or mixtures thereof.
- a preferred variant of the method according to the invention provides that, subsequent to step a), the non-soluble components of the composite materials are separated mechanically.
- mechanical separation possibilities in particular filtration or sedimentation.
- the precipitation of the polymers is implemented at temperatures up to 170° C., preferably at temperatures up to 100° C. and particularly preferred in the temperature range of room temperature (20° C.) to 50° C.
- the at least one precipitation product is dried before separation in step c).
- Another preferred variant provides that the drying of the at least one precipitation product is effected only after separation in step c).
- the drying according to the invention of the precipitation product in step c) is effected preferably by means of a rotational evaporator or a tumble dryer.
- the separated polymer phases can be pressed through perforated matrices to form strands without heating, the remaining solvent is thereby further dried and consequently granulated.
- the granulates produced can be handled without further processing on normal machines.
- the produced particles display perfect drawing behaviour.
- the polymers which can be recycled in the method according to the invention and are based on polystyrene are preferably selected from the group comprising styrene-butadiene (SB), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA), polyphenyleneoxide (PPO) and blends thereof, in particular ABS/PC, ABS/PA and PPO/PS.
- SB styrene-butadiene
- SAN styrene-acrylonitrile
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
- ASA acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile
- PPO polyphenyleneoxide
- plastic materials reprocessed according to the method according to the invention contain further polymer components.
- further polymer components all the polymers known from prior art can be used, polymers from the group comprising polyolefins, polyamides, polyvinylchlorides, polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polyester resins, epoxy resins, polyoxyalkylenes, polyalkylene terephthalates and polyvinyl butyral and also copolymers and blends thereof being preferred.
- polymer components of this type can be separated preferably in a preceding step by means of a density separation of the polymers based on polystyrene. It is thereby also possible to separate further non-polymer components of the plastic material in a preceding density separation of this type.
- the plastic material to be reprocessed contains additional low molecular additives.
- a low molecular additive for example a flame-retardant additive or a softener.
- flame retardants in particular brominated flame retardants, in particular selected from the group comprising polybrominated diphenylethers, polybrominated biphenylene, bis-[dibromopropoxydibromophenyl]propane and bis-(tribromophenoxy)ethane.
- softeners there are preferred in particular compounds selected from the group comprising phthalic acid esters, adipinic acid esters, aliphatic C 4 -C 8 carboxylic acids and polyalkylene glycols.
- step b) Low molecular additives of this type remain in step b) in the solution and thus can preferably be separated from the precipitated polymers.
- the method according to the invention is used for recycling plastic materials with a proportion of polystyrenes, copolymers and/or blends thereof.
- plastic materials from electronic scrap processing and from shredder light fractions.
- the FIGURE shows a Fourier transform infrared spectrum of two separated polymers, one spectrum relating to polystyrene (HIPS) of high impact strength and the other spectrum to acrylonitrile-butadiene (ABS).
- HIPS polystyrene
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene
- the solution of the plastic material waste is effected in a 10 l agitation reactor.
- the comminuted and air-sorted material of an E-scrap shredder light fraction in 30% batches is mixed with the formulation CreaSolv-CT (from CreaCycle GmBH) and dissolved at room temperature.
- the filtration of the solution is effected via a 2 mm and a 400 ⁇ m sieve.
- a part of the solution is finely filtered via a tissue filter with the mesh width 20- ⁇ mesh (triangles of edge length 60 ⁇ m).
- the coarsely filtered solution is separated in a small industrial 100 l agitation tank with the precipitant formulation CreaSolv-PS-F1.1 (from CreaCycle GmBH) and the precipitated product is separated from the remainder.
- the finely filtered solution is likewise precipitated.
- the extracted precipitation products have a solvent middle proportion of approx. 60% and are firstly dried on the rotational evaporator.
- the separated polymer gels are dried further respectively individually in a laboratory kneader (2.4 l nominal volume) under a slight vacuum (200 mbar) and consequently the residual solvent is drawn off.
- the gels thereby disintegrate into extrudable polymer particles.
- sample MIXex a mixed styrene copolymer
- sample BLACKex a mixed styrene copolymer
- sample GREYex a mixed styrene copolymer
- the finely filtered solution was precipitated, dried with phase separation, the thereby resulting two polymer phases were separated from each other and processed into the samples BLACKff and GREYff.
- the products BLACK and GREY were investigated by means of FT-IR and were characterised by means of data base balancing as ABS (sample BLACK) and HIPS (sample GREY) (FIGURE).
- MFI strands were produced (220-240°, 10 kg), by means of which the elasticity and the surface condition of the products was tested qualitatively.
- Products GREYff and GREYex hereby proved to be very elastic, the samples BLACKff, BLACKex and MIXex behaved in a comparatively brittle manner without extrusion.
